Psychologists explore behavior and mental processes. They employ scientific methods to diagnose and treat individuals with behavioral problems and conduct research on principles of behavior. Psychologists work primarily in research, teaching, and counseling. Some counsel patients in clinics, hospitals, universities, schools, businesses, and industries. Others conduct research on humans and animals. The bachelor of science gives a strong foundation in math and science and is intended for students who plan to pursue doctoral studies in the field. Most careers in psychology require advanced training, usually at the doctoral level. Students who wish to be psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, or social workers should plan to go to medical or graduate school.
